The two major forces opposing the motion of a vehicle moving on a level road are the rolling resistance of the tires, Fr, and the aerodynamic drag force of the air flowing around the vehicle, Fd, given respectively by Fr, = fW, Fd= CdA1/2 rhoV2 where f and Cd are constants known as the rolling resistance coefficient and drag coefficient, respectively, W and A are the vehicle weight and projected frontal area, respectively, V is the vehicle velocity, and rho is the air density. For a passenger car with W = 3,550 lbf, A = 23.3 ft^2, and Cd = 0.34, and where f = 0.02 and rho = 0.08 lbm/ft^3. Required:
Determine the power required, in HP, to overcome rolling resistance and aerodynamic drag when V is 55 mph.
